Best Answer

Strawberries are often called pseudocarps of false fruits because the very visible part of the strawberry is a modified receptacle. The true fruit in the strawberry is the seed-like little things embedded on its sides.

Scientifically, a strawberry is a fruit. It develops from the ovary of the flower and contains seeds. In botanical terms, fruits are the mature ovaries of flowering plants, and strawberries fit this definition.

It's actually not considered a fruit or vegetable. It's an "accessory fruit", or pseudo-fruit. The edible part (the strawberry itself) does not form from the ovary like other fruits, but from the part of the stem which holds the ovaries.A fruit, by definition would have seeds. Strawberries propagate through "shoots" the plant sends out separate from the strawberries, not through seeds.It is a fruit.
